Lauren Boebert issued the following statement regarding today’s announcement of a statewide mask order by Colorado’s Governor Jared Polis:

“Here we go again! Colorado’s Governor Polis is on the march, attacking our personal liberties while dictating mandates from the top down. Government’s job is to inform, not to strip our freedoms away and treat us like wards of the state. How lucky for the mothers of nine-year-olds who will still have the freedom to make such decisions for their children.”
